The Invisible world on faith!
So do you have any idea what recycling is? No no...not the kind that has to do with using materials but the kind that has to do with people. The idea is that ideas and messages keep repeating themselves in your life until you find a way to incorporate it into your life. The world is trying to tell you what you need to know.
This is what has happened to me. Through questions about my future, criticisms about who I've become and reflection the message has repeared in my life.
Its time to have faith Juanita. Its time to have faith!
But what does faith mean? Does it just mean putting your hands together in prayer when you feel like life is shit? Does it mean putting a smile on your face when you really want to cry?
What does it mean?
For me, it means that your able to be calm when the whole world is really a storm...cause you believe with all your heart that things are happening for a reason. you believe that things are going the way that they are and that you are doing everything you can to make your vision happen. thtas what faith is.
my minimal amount of faith has caused me many years of worry. Moments of anger and fustration. Days of confusion....that I needed to have in order to realize that life works out for a reason.
But faith is not something that you can acquire in a moment or in a day or with a phrase. It is acquired moment by moment. Its making a choice. A fundamental choice with everything you do in life.
1) Learn from your mistakes and find the humor in the situation.
2) Feel like your the victim and pitty yourself.
*Thanks for sending me the powerpoint ASTI!
These are the two choices we have. Faith enables you to choose teh first one even when it seems impossible to do so. The more you choose option one..the more you find yourself learning and enjoying life instead of being angry and having hatred against something.
The biggest power we have is the power of ourselves. we chose our attitudes and we choose how we will react. By choosing to have faith in every decision....we can chose.
By realizing that in life..in terms of our reactions life comes down to two simple actions....and ways of being..it suddenly becomes easier to understand how people can be optimistic even in the most evil and treaterous situations.
The power of the self is the key to success. For me, all the people I admire have faith.
I am about to be one of them....

Juanita, my dear sister.
If you ask me about faith, then it means these things:
1. Believing in yourself that you can do it, that no matter what you have the strength to do it.
2. Being calm, no matter what hurricane, tornado, happens around you. And why am I calm? because of number 1. I KNOW that I have it in me to do it, to movr on, to carry on. Why do I need to be calm? to face number 3, to face LIFE.
3. Take criticisms, good or bad, and reflect on it.
Basically darlin, having faith to me is listening to your self, believe in your self. Yes you can cry to others, you can scream at others, you can hide from others, you can ask the opinion of others. But the most important thing is WHAT IS INSIDE YOU. what does that VOICE INSIDE YOU tell you to do? ASK YOURSELF the questions and LISTEN to your own answers. They're usually the best ones.
Its no use to face a problem with panic, it will only intensify it.
Its no use to face a problem with worry, it wont solve the problem.
Its no use to face the problem with frustration, you will never see the end of the tunnel, the light.
Face problems, life, with CALM. With BELIEF that you can do it. Rationalise, LISTEN to your head AND heart. THAT is what FAITH is to me.
All my love hun :)
